It is hard to tell what was more entertaining: Carrie Fisher’s portrayal of Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” films, or her hilarious quotes about being involved in the iconic film series.

Fisher, who died on Tuesday, had no problem speaking her mind about what it was like working on “Star Wars.” Here are some of her most insightful and hilarious quotes.

“I am Princess Leia, no matter what. If I were trying to get a good table, I wouldn’t say I wrote Postcards [From the Edge, her best-selling first novel]. Or, if I’m trying to get someone to take my check and I don’t have ID, I wouldn’t say: ‘Have you seen Harry Met Sally?’ Princess Leia will be on my tombstone.”

Fisher once told Stephen Colbert why she had to wear the infamous slave bikini, but never got to use a light saber: “Even in space, there’s a double standard.”

Fisher told Time magazine in 2015 that appearing in the "Star Wars" sequels wasn't a difficult decision: "No, I’m a female and in Hollywood it’s difficult to get work after 30 -- maybe it’s getting to be 40 now. I long ago accepted that I am Princess Leia. I have that as a large part of the association with my identity. There wasn’t a lot of hesitation."

Fisher knew the public would always remember her for her acting in “Star Wars.”

Behind the scenes, she was a highly-regarded script doctor who made uncredited contributions to films like “Hook,” “Sister Act,” “Lethal Weapon 3” and “The Wedding Singer,” according to TheMarySue.com.
